Lineage has generally not been considered an "easy mode" type of MMO world to play through. Fighting masses of enemies is definately one of their features though.

As for the combat if you watch the video it is very action oriented IMO, almost as far to say it would be twitch based, off of reaction times like doing whirlwinds and aiming spells and such.

It will make player sieges quite epic IMO! Especially the way a lot of these abilities look, flinging people all over the place and impaling them to whalls, slamming them to the earth with spells and whatnot.

I disagree. D3 will still be bigger then that game you listed because D3 has a culture and large backing of previous fans, not to mention 10 million possible fans Blizzard can show the way to D3 when it releases. There is no way D3 will fail based on another game being slightly better in the same type. D3 is much more popular. New better things that traditionally come along tend to take a long time to become popular.

You do realize Lineage was / is one of the biggest MMO franchises of all time?

NCsoft dwarfs blizzard simply with their Asian audience and have for quite a long time, yet many dont realize this. I mean look at the money they throw on Anet in regards to GW2.

Yes I know that, played it years ago, and I know how big it is with the Asian market. But that still does nothing when you compare the two. Diablo series has success and many millions of fans while this isn't the same Lineage but now compared to the D3 style it wont do as good coming out at first. D3 has more fans and will pickup quicker then this. If you or others think differently then you never played or took part in the Diablo series or know that Blizzard is a beast of advertising pull.

Definitely looks worth trying. Certainly won't be more successsful than D3, though it seems to have a chance of being as fun as D3.

Mind you, as I said about this trailer on L2 forums of this very website, This seems to be a far more like a mmo than D3 is. Its more in line with Lineage 1 and if its more in line with Lineage 1 there's a great chance that they won't instance it as much as they do with other games of that nature.

Also let's not forget that LE focuses on massive siege warfare. This trailer was just showing off first 3 classes out of 5. There's whole other side than PVE that is still left unseen and we still did not have the announcement itself at G*Star (only press conference announcement), as we will most likely see a whole lot more this weekend :)

It looks like lineage 1 reborn.. and to those that repeat that Diablo has more fans.. I think Korea begs to differ.. Lineage was the first mmo to break the millions barrier and I think L1 still has something along those numbers subbed to this day in Korea. If not it's still substatial. I for one am going to buy both but this is what I'd started to wonder if it would ever happen.. another lineage!!! My favorite mmo ip. I can't wait. By the way before this get's into a hopeless flame war the poster means is this IS a persistant MMORPG while Diablo isn't.

I'll admit, I'm a huge Diablo fan. Diablo 3 will be initially successful because it's a sequel to a popular series. I'm hoping it lives up to the hype.

I'm also a big fan of the Lineage series so I'm hoping that does well too.

But it's way to early to say Lineage Eternal won't be as successful before either are released. Who knows what will happen.

Unfortunately that sounds like there's also a great chance of ultra-grind ruining the fun before it begins.
